Recommendation by Obstetrician AG, UK

“Thank you for sending information. I think your invention will serve a very big role to reduce
morbidity and mortality from breast cancers in the developing world and the attendant suffering and social
upheaval. In addition there is a great potential to aid existing screening modalities for breast cancer in the
developing world and reduce anxiety. This is even more so in people with strong family history of cancer.
Congratulations…”

Importer to India

“Today we had another successful presentation round with the state health mission committee where
BREAST-i was successfully demonstrated to Senior Health officials. Meanwhile, we have had a few
wonderful instances while the device was being promoted, we got the patients coming in with some symptoms that
were difficult to understand by mere physical examination, but the introduction of BREAST-i equipped
the clinicians to see through the lesions. Your innovation was greatly appreciated… Please accept my
heartiest congratulations for having developed this technology. We shall be placing our first repeat order
next week…”

Breast Awareness

Most women are on the lookout for changes in their breasts and doctors recommend that women should know how their
breasts look and feel. This is called being breast aware.

Most women know to check for breast lumps that are out of the ordinary but there are other changes to look out for.
These include a change in size or shape of your breasts, a change in the skin such as dimpling or puckering, any
changes in a nipple or discharge, persistent pain and lumpy areas or thickening of tissues.

If you observe any of these changes ask your doctor to check your breasts and advise you on their
significance. Most lumps are not serious and can be easily treated where necessary. Should there be a
cancer, early treatment offers the best chance of cure.

In the UK, one woman in 8 will suffer from breast cancer in her life time. Breast cancer is the
major cause of death in women under 50 years and second major cause of death among all women. There are 55,000 new
cases of breast cancer each year in UK. There are about 11,500 deaths from breast cancer each year in UK. 50% of
women survive for 10 years after the first diagnosis of the disease but 50% do not.

The best hope of a cure is early detection and this also reduces the number of mastectomies. Currently NHS breast
screening starts for women at age 50 years and is carried out at 3 yearly intervals until age 70 years.

Benefits of the BREAST-i device

BREAST-i is a new health and wellbeing product for women. It is a light-based home use
technology, providing another way to keep an eye on your breasts and aims to assist in spotting changes early.

Involves no X-radiation, only red light - hence quite safe to use

No tissue compression

Patented advanced sensor technology to avoid light dazzle

Includes memory of previous light setting

The UK's largest breast cancer research charity Breast Cancer Now advises women to touch, look and check (TLC) their breasts to pick up any sign of lumps early, when
cure is possible and likely - they say “Love your breasts. Be breast aware”. BREAST-i
adds a new dimension to looking, and is simply keeping another eye on your breasts.

BREAST-i is non-diagnostic and most changes will prove to be benign and not be cancer.
Don't worry if you see a change from month to month - simply visit your doctor.

A message from Dr Femi Ogunremi

“October is a unique month as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In Monitor Healthcare Ltd the discovery of
BREAST-i has been a revolution to our Against Breast Cancer (ABC) mission across Africa.

This month, we believe with the advent and the impact of this lifesaving device in Africa, our war Against
Breast Cancer has taken a new twist. So far, from multiple field work across Africa, the result is showing that
BREAST-i has a great position in screening patients with breast pathologies with sensitivity and
specificity.

Working with surgeons and different health practitioners across Africa, evidences are evolving that the place
of BREAST-i in saving lives is great, especially in developing countries where sophisticated devices are
not easy to come by. Also, as BREAST-i is easily used by a non-skilled person this indicates the
potential to bring this fight to the household level!

In my opinion, this is the turning point for us in this fight! We just need to look at our standpoint and do
not underestimate the impact that this great invention will make and the number of lives that it can save!

We now feel rejuvenated and empowered using BREAST-i, and working with multiple governmental and NGO
organisations across Africa to join in the fight Against Breast Cancer (ABC)…”

The thinking behind BREAST-i

BREAST-i has been developed by Highland Innovation Centre Ltd (HIC). The original prototype device
was called BreastChecker. The technology has progressed from BreastChecker to Breastlight and now to
BREAST-i. HIC has pioneered this concept of using light to examine breasts. The company received a
SMART award from the Scottish Government, and a grant from Highlands & Islands Enterprise to develop a
light-based device culminating with BREAST-i.

Tests in Africa have shown 94% sensitivity for breast cancer detection and 84% for benign disease. About 10,000
women in Ghana have been examined using BREAST-i and its predecessors. The motivation for the work was to
provide women with a safe, easy to use device to check their breasts for any changes which indicate the need to get
a medical opinion.

Highland Innovation Centre Ltd (HIC) is a
Scottish-based medical/scientific device company that specialises in the design, development, and
commercialisation of consumer, clinical and research products. Founded by Dr David Watmough, HIC
is still driven by a desire to deliver healthcare solutions that not only raise the bar in terms of effectiveness,
but also in terms of affordability.
